I do know that one time my daughter accidentally took her daughter’s pills. At that time her girl was on some mood-altering drugs. We were due to drive friends to catch a bus to get to the Chicago airport. My daughter drove up there fine, but halfway back she just couldn’t drive anymore. So I drove us to a grand-daughter’s house where she rested for a bit, then I drove us the rest of the way home.

What a sweet sweet memory that he thought you kissed all the brown on him-makes my heart sigh…then you added more foster kiddos-I always thought you both did so well with your foster children-you may never know how much you influenced all those lil hearts till we see Jesus-but, know, that you did you very best to make a difference-and you did!

If such a thing happened to me here, I’d….I’m not sure! Maybe write a blog post about it! =)

Sat, 23 Sep 2017 17:45:25 +0000http://maryannyutzy.com/?p=9158#comment-7960My mother always made them the latter way – chopped and then rolled up in the dough like a cinnamon roll. I never had them with half an apple wrapped until one of my sisters-in-law made them for us. Since then, that’s the only way I make them. They’re an annual tradition for my son’s birthday (late December). He doesn’t consider his birthday really celebrated until he’s had his apple dumplings. I use white sugar for the sauce, though, and add a few drops of red food color to it when I add the cinnamon.

Thu, 31 Aug 2017 20:53:39 +0000http://maryannyutzy.com/?p=8830#comment-7940I had the same problem a year or so ago. I thought it might be a detached retina, but it turned out to be what you have—PVD. It’s sort of a non event. Nothing more happened. I have since had cataracts removed without problem.

Thu, 31 Aug 2017 20:41:14 +0000http://maryannyutzy.com/?p=8830#comment-7939I am so grateful for the better diagnosis than you feared! Praise the Lord for his care, and for his direction!
These words really stuck out to me in our region”s current situation: “If I didn’t believe . . .

But I do! I’ve found that sure anchor for my soul and even when I’m heartsick or discouraged or uncertain about what is going to happen or how people will cope or what will ever become of the people I love or even whether some of them will make it safely HOME, there is that sure anchor that the winds will not overwhelm my little boat and it will not sink. The Master of the Wind, the Maker of the Sea is in this boat with me and He has promised that He will never leave me, never forsake me.”

The Lord indeed proved himself the Master of the wind, and a sure anchor, even though so many wondered when that wind would finally drive hurricane/tropical storm Harvey out of the area. It has been horrible to see (we were terribly wet, stuck at home, and Bill”s job will certainly be affected, but we sustained no damage or loss); but it was so comforting to KNOW that He never left or forsook us, or Corpus Christie, Houston, Beaumont, or all the areas surrounding them!

Fri, 18 Aug 2017 23:39:23 +0000http://maryannyutzy.com/?p=8669#comment-7932Thank you, Dorcas. There are no easy answers, and to know how God wants me to live, how I can be Jesus to the people in my life who I rub shoulders with every day, and keep my life free from bitterness over the people over whom I have no control — to me, this is my calling.

I come from two families who are as diverse as they can be — and opinionated and passionate. Today I sent them a short letter on the family groups e-mail, and also sent the picture that I shared above. I ended the letter with this paragraph:
***************
To be honest, this Grammy has almost given up on “getting it right” politically or socially. I’m just going to love the people who God puts in my way, and believe that He made them the way they are for a purpose. I don’t know if I’ll get it right — because in another ten years, Frankie, Liam and Si (Left to right above) are probably going to tell me that I am still not right in what I say or how I say it. But it is my prayer that they will never wonder if their Grammy loved them nor remember a time when how they looked caused me to turn away my head or close them off from being held -not only close to my heart, but in it.
**********************
